Autonomous hint generator

Abstract

Embodiments define a secure code hint generator that determine an occurrence of security word text content within electronic message body text that is descriptive of a security token required to open a secured file referenced by the message. The embodiments distinguish a security phrase subset words of the body text content from a remainder of an entirety of the body text content that include the security word content as a function of determining that the security phrase is more related to describing the security token; generate hint text content that differs from the security phrase and is chosen to reveal the security phrase text content to a user as a function of knowledge of user profile data; and associate the hint to the secured file for display to the user in response to a request for access to the secured file.

 distinguishing a subset ordered plurality of words of the body text content comprising the security word content from a remainder of an entirety of the body text content as a security phrase, as a function of determining via natural language processing that the security phrase is more related to describing the security token than the remainder body text content; 
 generating a hint comprising text content that differs from the security phrase and is chosen to reveal the security phrase text content to a user as a function of a knowledge context defined by user profile data; 
 storing the generated hint in a thumbs.db file; and 
 associating the generated hint to the secured file for display to the user in response to a user request for access to the secured file, wherein associating the generated hint to the secured file comprises associating the secured file to a new file name extension that is mapped to a custom open wrapper file that is linked to the thumbs.db file. 
 
     
     
       2.

       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the security token is a password, the method further comprising:
 determining a text character attribute rule for text content of the password via natural language processing of the security phrase that specifies entry of a text character of the password that has an attribute that is selected from the group consisting of an alphanumeric character type, an upper case letter format and a lower case letter format; and 
 generating the hint to display content representing the text character attribute rule to the user. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 determining a text character ordering rule for text content of the password via natural language processing of the security phrase that specifies an order or entry of different respective text content items that are selected from the group consisting of a date within the user profile data and a unique user identification indicia within the user profile data; and 
 generating the hint to display content representing the text character ordering rule to the user.

 determines an occurrence of security word text content within body text content of an electronic message, wherein the security word text content is descriptive of a security token that is associated with a secured file that is referenced by the electronic message, wherein the security token is required to open the secured file; 
 distinguishes a subset ordered plurality of words of the body text content comprising the security word content from a remainder of an entirety of the body text content as a security phrase, as a function of determining via natural language processing that the security phrase is more related to describing the security token than the remainder body text content; 
 generates a hint comprising text content that differs from the security phrase and is chosen to reveal the security phrase text content to a user as a function of a knowledge context defined by user profile data; 
 stores the generated hint in a thumbs.db file; and 
 associates the generated hint to the secured file for display to the user in response to a user request for access to the secured file by associating the secured file to a new file name extension that is mapped to a custom open wrapper file that is linked to the thumbs.db file.
